And that still doesn't seem to stop reckless driving from killing pedestrians. The only thing that will slow drivers down is when they feel unsafe themselves, or have a risk to their vehicle. Adding signs or automatic fines doesn't do anything. You need narrower streets utilizing actual traffic calling techniques. It's such a sad sight to see signs with a "traffic calming zone" sign, but absolutely zero traffic calming done. It'll be a wide open street, we'll paved, no trees right against the road or bollards in the middle or speed bumps. Watching this video feels like an alternative reality that never happened and it seems great. https://youtu.be/bAxRYrpbnuA https://youtu.be/bAxRYrpbnuA

Yes, good video. Canada and the USA has this demonic granting of speed rights to drivers. They could put in automatic speed traps on all street, with a fine by mail of a small amount, say $10 = a nuisance, but as they pile up the constant nag by mail, with a forced full payment to renew the plate will have a coercive enduring affect. It is important to keep it small - with a caveat. You are allowed to go yo court. If you challenge in court = higher tier of fines + time wasted burden. After a few months most will comply. Now manned speed traps have huge fines, huge police/court $$ burden. Cops tied up at speed traps prevent no crime, just fine a few people/day as the ticketing process at the street level is very slow. Automatic radar speed traps are fast. People hate them because they also have huge fines = lobby politicians a lot. The small nominal fine will get compliance without the same amount of lobbying and other pushback,
